The Daily Herold Ep. November 17, 2025: Epstein Hysteria, Psyop Games & Trump’s Strategic Zone Flood
Description
Jon Herold kicks off a Monday-ish Monday with a mix of exhaustion, sharp analysis, and classic Herold humor as he unpacks a chaotic week of political drama, narrative battles, and strange internet behavior. From the MTG–Trump feud to the endless Epstein “file” frenzy, Jon breaks down why so many online fights feel manufactured and how bad-faith actors, bots included, are warping the truth-seeking ecosystem. He dives into Trump’s reversed stance on releasing Epstein records, new DOJ maneuvers, the curious case of SDNY’s sudden involvement, and the larger distraction campaign drowning out Trump’s real accomplishments. Jon also takes aim at Media Matters hit pieces, Real Clear Politics shoutouts, Biden’s sluggish executive action pace, DOJ inconsistencies, and the bizarre rise of Pentagon psyop podcasts. Mixing doomer self-deprecation with grounded realism, Jon makes a compelling case that social media outrage is synthetic, justice comes slowly, and America is still fighting through information fog as Trump continues to “flood the zone.”
